BOTTLE-\NASH|NG BRUSH.

SPECIPICA'IIION forming part of Letters Patent No. 335,052, datedJanuary 26, 1886. Application filed March 3f), 1885. Serial No. 160,624.(No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J OHN BUOHHEIT of the city of St. Louis, in theState of Missouri, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement inBottle-Washing Brushes, of which the following is a full, clear, andexact de scription, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,forming part of this specification, and in which- Figure 1 is anelevation or side \lGW of my improved brush. Fig. 2 is an enlargeddetail section taken on line 2 2, Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is asimilar View ofthe body of the brush.

My invention is an improved form of brush for washing bottles.

My invention relates to that form of brush which comprises a rod havingperforations extending entirely through the body thereof, andlongitudinal grooves sunk into the surface in which the wire whichsecures the tufts in the perforations is inserted.

My invention consists in features of novelty hereinafter fullydescribed, and pointed out in the claim.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the handle or staff of thedevice, provided with side tufts, B, and end tuft, G, the former be ingarranged in spiral form inclined toward the inner end, and being held tothe handle by a Wire, D, that draws them into perfora- 3o tions I madein the handle. By arranging these tufts both spirally and inclined theyoperate more effectually to clean the bottle.

The end tuft is removably attached or secured to the handle, so thatwhen it becomes 5 worn out (which it does much more rapidly than theside tufts) it can be renewed. I have shown it secured in a collar, J,that fits in a socket, N, in the end of the handle, where it is held bya pin, 0. (See Fig. 2.) End tufts 0 can thus be manufactured and soldindependently of the rest of the device, and can be put on by aninexperienced person.

I claim as my invention- A metal rod having a spiral line of tufts 45upon it inclined toward the end, and an end tuft, substantially as setforth.

JOHN BUOHHEIT.
